Third Republican Debate was\u00a0Intended\u00a0to Knock Donald Trump and Ben Carson from their lead in the Polls.\u00a0Did it do that?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

By Scott Rohter, October 2016<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The third Republican debate was supposed to be\u00a0about policy\u2026. economic policy to be specific and\u00a0the theme was selected by the Republican National Committee to try to make Jeb Bush look good, The questions were intended to boost his failing presidential campaign and to showcase the other professional politicians in the race seeking the\u00a0Republican nomination at the expense of the non-politicians in the race.. The\u00a0plan was to knock out the\u00a0two front runners\u00a0in the race\u2026. Donald Trump and Ben Carson.\u00a0They enjoy an overwhelming lead\u00a0in\u00a0the polls over their professional rivals, but it looks like the debate didn’t go quite as planned.<\/p>\n

Whether or not the third Republican debate will do what the GOP\u00a0intended it\u00a0to\u00a0remains to be seen, but after the debate was over RNC chairman Reince Priebus lamented that he was unhappy with the way that CNBC conducted the debate. Should that really come as a\u00a0surprise to anyone? Why would the\u00a0anybody at the RNC even consider allowing a liberal network like CNBC, or for that matter CNN to host a Republican Presidential debate in the first place? Isn’t that precisely what is wrong with the GOP? They are just another\u00a0branch of the progressive establishment.<\/p>\n

While the RNC professes to be disappointed in the moderators at CNBC, the third Republican debate\u00a0did at least give their progressive pundits in the media and on talk radio ample time to make their talking points and an ample opportunity to push their favorite progressive politicians\u00a0forward like Chris Christie, and John Kasich, as well as the three ineligibles in the race… Marco Rubio,\u00a0Ted Cruz, and Bobby Jindahl. Whoever\u00a0keeps promoting\u00a0Cruz or Rubio for President is doing so\u00a0at the expense of the Constitution and the non-politicians in the race, Donald Trump and Ben Carson. The\u00a0GOP is doing this\u00a0in a last ditch effort to\u00a0divide the conservatives in the Republican Party and come to the\u00a0rescue of Jeb Bush\u2019s failing Presidential campaign, but even as they do it they also have to acknowledge that Jeb isn\u2019t doing very well in the polls and it may very well be the end of his Presidential aspirations\u2026 No kidding. I wonder why? Can anybody at the RNC say BUSH ? Does anybody\u00a0over there have a clue?\u00a0 Try reading the title to this article again.<\/p>\n

Have you ever noticed\u00a0how no one even mentions the name\u00a0of Mike Huckabee anymore? I wonder why… It is a perfect example of how the media just hates Christians. If Dr. Carson wasn\u2019t an African American they would go after him for his 7th Day Adventist faith\u00a0just as hard as they\u00a0try to avoid mentioning\u00a0Mike Huckabee’s name.\u00a0\u00a0Carly Fiorina is another matter\u00a0however. She is a\u00a0progressive so they generally give her a pass and\u00a0try to portray her in a favorable light. In this debate they even\u00a0gave her an opportunity to defend her lackluster performance while she was President of Hewlett Packard.<\/p>\n

In a couple of weeks the Fourth Republican Debate will\u00a0be hosted by the Wall Street Journal and Fox News\u00a0again. It will also be about policy and\u00a0the questions\u00a0will\u00a0be\u00a0intended to show once\u00a0more that Donald Trump and Ben Carson are\u00a0out of their league. Will we have to put up with more of Megan Kelly’s shenanigans? Remember that if we keep\u00a0sending\u00a0professional politicians\u00a0to Washington D.C. we will\u00a0keep getting more of the same\u00a0 outcomes that are \u00a0destroying our country. Our only hope is to\u00a0give them their exit visas and send them packing from politics. We need to send a strong message to the\u00a0 Establishment of both political parties and we need to start sending non-politicians to Washington D.C. They couldn’t possible do any worse than the professional politicians. For President we need an outsider with enough\u00a0courage to stand up to the political establishment. Now who else besides Donald Trump can do that? Go Trump!<\/p>\n
